To that end, the Hoboken Community Center is hosting the 25th “A Taste of Hoboken” event—featuring live music, wine, beer, and cuisine tastings from Hoboken’s top restaurants. The event will be held on Tuesday, March 19 in the Howe Center’s Bissinger Room at Stevens Institute of Technology, featuring magnificent Manhattan skyline views.

“The renaissance of Hoboken has seen many great things like the restoration of the waterfront, several new parks and the addition of the light rail on the west side. What Hoboken still desperately needs is a community center that serves everyone,” said Ken Nilsen, president of the Hoboken Community Center. “With broad support from our elected leaders and members of the community, we have real momentum towards restoring and reopening the recreational facilities at the former Y. All proceeds from A Taste of Hoboken will go toward that effort.”

The event begins with a “Prosecco Preview” at 6:00 pm, where guests pay a premium to be in a less crowded room and an opportunity to mingle and talk to chefs and other restaurant representatives about their cuisine. General admission begins at 7:00 pm, and the event runs until 9:00 pm.

Live music will be provided by Hoboken’s own Swingadelic – the NYC area’s greatest “little big band.”
